Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured an ongoing maintenance agreement for its moving-traffic automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) enforcement system. The requirement covers fixed ANPR camera units, the associated software, and maintenance of the equipment and systems, including repair and technical support. This is a services procurement focused on road traffic-control equipment and related maintenance services. The work supports the Council’s operational moving-traffic enforcement arrangements and the continued functioning of its existing ANPR infrastructure. The awarded supplier is YUNEX LIMITED, a large supplier based in Poole. The requirement is treated as a single package rather than separate service areas, covering the Council’s ANPR equipment and associated systems as one maintenance arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award, justified by the incumbent requirement for specific technical knowledge, software access, diagnostic tools, system configurations and compatibility with existing ANPR equipment. YUNEX LIMITED was awarded the contract on 26 March 2026 for £1,199,477 excluding VAT, or £1,439,372 including VAT. The contract was signed on 19 May 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an extension option potentially running until 30 September 2031. The award is active and the contract is active. Nottingham City Council may decide whether to use the extension, which is intended to maintain service continuity while longer-term procurement arrangements are considered. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to maintain an established moving-traffic ANPR enforcement environment rather than deliver standalone cameras or generic IT support. A credible future competitor would need specialist knowledge of fixed ANPR equipment, access to and familiarity with the relevant software, diagnostic capability, and the ability to work with existing system configurations. Compatibility is central: the Council identified risks to performance, security and operations if a different provider were used. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate experience maintaining integrated road traffic-control and enforcement systems, managing repairs and technical support, and preserving operational continuity. The direct-award route also shows that incumbent technical understanding and system access are important factors in this buyer’s purchasing approach.
